I completed it once I removed my Ubuntu partition and everything functioned properly.

I wasn't sure just entering "bootrec" would help. I recall needing to run "bootrec.exe" as well, though they might both function. For me it turned out to be: bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /fixboot

I started from a Win7 recovery disk, entered login, and performed these actions: opened CMD, typed bootrec.exe /fixmbr, waited for the success message, exited the prompt, shut down the machine, ejected the disc, and launched the computer.

You need to save your files now to avoid losing them.

The backup isn't necessary—simply remove the Ubuntu partition and replace the MBR. I faced the same scenario before.

Yes, I understand. You're wondering about the reason behind having a partition that's not being used, which is roughly 8 gigabytes in size.

I can't take screenshots directly, but I can describe what you'd see in disk management. Let me know if you'd like a detailed visual guide!

Insert the 7.45 GB drive into the Ubuntu partition slot.

It's a USB stick containing a running Ubuntu installation.
